#5 Mahendra Singh Dhoni
He may be past his prime as many believe, but even a half-effective MS Dhoni is capable enough to win games. And then there are no better leaders in the limited overs format.
In the ongoing series against Zimbabwe, Dhoni has shown enough instances which have convinced us that he is the man to lead India into another ICC tournament. And yes, to defend the title.
Dhoni will now have the company of Anil Kumble and together they can forge an enviable alliance. The enigmatic skipper has been the vice-captain of the team when Anil Kumble took over as the Test Skipper and hence the equation is expected to be comfortable. This might help Dhoni rediscover his mojo with the bat as well, for there is no denying that an in-form Mahendra Singh Dhoni will be the X-factor in the team, especially in an ICC Tournament.
